Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Callido]

Obviously, Galatasaray doesn't want their center forward to risk injury, just as Nigeria absolutely needs their center forward to advance in the domestic competition.
So, it's a difficult choice, to say the least, for Osimhen as he tries to figure out how to proceed.
I think the right option is to consult a doctor.

Osimhen cannot play now, he won't participate in the international break, Galatasaray team doctors are not stupid enough to allow him to participate in the AFCON qualification competition when the player's safety is at risk, and they have been struggling since his absence from matches.

Osimhen can sit back, Eric Chelle brought us another deadly striker who can win us the games in the qualifiers.

I never like to talk about referees, but this season there has been a record number of mistakes made against Beşiktaş in just 6 weeks. Between penalties that were not given, disallowed goals, cards that weren't shown, the number of critical mistakes made against Beşiktaş has been more than double that of their closest rivals.
There have been 2 losses in the league, one against Alanyaspor and the other against Amed SK. Beşiktaş could've won both of those matches. Starting the season 6 for 6 would've scared everyone. That's why I find these obstacles to be normal. We're used to this league being played this way.

Ask anyone and they'll agree that an early red card should've been issued after the slap on Trossard's face in Alanyaspor match. That would've completely changed the course of the game. In the Amed match, 2 penalties for Vlahovic weren't called. That game could've turned out differently as well. Beşiktaş conceded goals due to their own mistakes, but that's no excuse for the referees' wrong calls.

Ultimately the team is on the right track but external factors are once again having a major impact. We could've seen a very different standings after 6 weeks. I hope that in the coming weeks, such glaring mistakes won't be made and that the league will be a bit more balanced due to the decisions made.

I completely agree, it's been the same thing for years. This season, both Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe are putting up a very good fight; they're among the best teams in the league. Fenerbahçe lost points in two consecutive matches and dropped in the standings, but Beşiktaş could be sitting in the lead right now. Despite this, Galatasaray and Amedspor are currently leading the league, which seems like a completely political game. Referee decisions have been influencing this league too much for years

This has been the problem of the Super Eagles, losing one of their best striker and no one I mean no one has step up to prove to Nigerians that if Victor Osimhen is unavailable that they can take up that position and deliver, none I have seen and correct me if I'm wrong. For me I believe this Victor Osimhen's injury is not as serious as we think, just that Galatasaray are faking the injury not to lose him to injury when he comes playing for the Super Eagles. Look at the case of Cole Palmer, he played their last game against Brentford and before Sunday they was declared unfit to join the 3 Lions, same as Rice and some other players in the England squad I could not remember, they clubs are not ready to risk their key players so for Victor Osimhen it doesn't say anything different, the club is protecting him from my afcon injury, he is their main man and no time to take any high risk.

Referee decisions have been a long-standing topic of debate in Turkey, as you know. It's not wrong to say that Galatasaray is one of the teams that has gained the most points due to referee errors in recent years. I can say that this has had a positive effect for Galatasaray. There were some years when we won by a few points; as far as I remember, Fenerbahçe finished the league with 99 points and Galatasaray with 101, and we lost by two points. Perhaps a referee error there prevented Fenerbahçe from winning the championship. Therefore, it is very important to train referees in Turkey, along with training players. There isn't a single referee we can call a good referee.

Of course, a mistake made at the beginning of the league can change the champion at the end. We can call this the butterfly effect. Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have been in a championship race for several years, but the referee isn't solely to blame. Fenerbahçe has struggled to win against Galatasaray in recent years. Especially under Jose Mourinho, they haven't won a single derby match. You can't win the championship if you can't win derby matches. This year they've also started poorly and already have two losses. Blaming the referees at the end of the season is, in my opinion, childish.

This has been the problem of the Super Eagles, losing one of their best striker and no one I mean no one has step up to prove to Nigerians that if Victor Osimhen is unavailable that they can take up that position and deliver, none I have seen and correct me if I'm wrong. For me I believe this Victor Osimhen's injury is not as serious as we think, just that Galatasaray are faking the injury not to lose him to injury when he comes playing for the Super Eagles. Look at the case of Cole Palmer, he played their last game against Brentford and before Sunday they was declared unfit to join the 3 Lions, same as Rice and some other players in the England squad I could not remember, they clubs are not ready to risk their key players so for Victor Osimhen it doesn't say anything different, the club is protecting him from my afcon injury, he is their main man and no time to take any high risk.

This is nonsense. Osimhen has been injured for a long time and it's unclear when he'll return. He wasn't expected to return during this international break anyway. So your conspiracy theory has fallen apart. If he were ready, Galatasaray would have played him, they're barely winning their matches as it is. They were humiliated in the Trabzonspor game. Do you really think they'd have benched Osimhen in such a tough match if he were healthy? You're just spouting off without thinking. Fake injury my ass. Galatasaray needs him more than anyone in the world.

I agree with you because if Victor Osimhen wanted to fake an injury he would have waited till the last game of Galatasaray before he would have been declared unfit to play for the Nigerian national team but this isn't the case since he was already out of Galatasaray squad for weeks due to an injury. I don't agree with what Sexylizzy2813 said either, it's a baseless assumption. We know that some teams do fake injury or the fitness of a key player when they are called for International duty but it mostly happens when the club has a future important match or they have a must win match in the domestic league. Moreover, the season is very young, I don't see any reason why clubs will want to protect their players from attending International duties just because they're trying to shield them from getting injured.

[nelson4lov]

Galatasaray without Osimehn is like a dog that cannot bite. We've seen it happen again and again. He's the one carrying the team on his shoulders, and any time he gets injured, the team tends to struggle. The good news for Galatasaray is that the injury is not serious. He was scheduled to be on the sidelines for 3 weeks. He has already been out for 2 weeks, and it's just a week remaining. The international break will also work in his favour, as it will allow the medical team to avoid rushing his recovery process. By the time the league resumes on Oct 10th, I think he should be fully recovered and ready for the upcoming games.

They need to fix this ASAP otherwise whenever he decides to live and I believe he would want to in the future, their team could fall apart if they are over-reliant on him, and it would take a long time before they can rebuild their team again.

I thought that by adding Leao to their list of attackers that they would be able to get a bit more to do more bite than bark but maybe he is yet to adapt to life in Turkey.

If a club gives a report that a player is injured do you think the national team would question the report? There's something at always happens each time every club wants to go for international break, injuries of players that are important to them, they wouldn't want to let the players go so the injury comes early to make it look real, bro that is what I have noticed so if you haven't then I have seen it that way. I also gave instance of Cole Palmer, played on Friday and on Sunday or before Sunday he was withdrawn from the 3 Lions squad and you say it isn't the club that is protecting their own? There are some international games that isn't needed to stress the players but it must be played, like when Arsenal was struggling and battling to win the league sometime ago last season, just this same period, Brazil wasn't playing for anything just a friendly game, in that game Gabriel was injured (forgotten the country they played against) and it almost cost the Gunners some of their game and if Arteta had given that report or him being injured do you think he would have gone? We should understand how the game works this time around, nobody wants his best to get injured for some stupid game that doesn't matter, this game Nigeria will play against Madagascar I see it as a workout, without Victor Osimhen the Super Eagles will win the game so Galatasaray are using that injury to hold the man back and I like it that way, he's the only man that can do well as a striker for the club, without him they lost and watch in the next 2 to 3 games he'd be cleared. Football is not how we see it these days.

Today I listened to Serdal Adalı's speech on TV. What he said about planning was very positive. Graf staying on, Önder Özen working in harmony with him and the signing of Italiano, these are all positive developments. The president also offered some self-criticism. He acknowledged that it was a mistake that some transfers didn't go through. For example, it's very clear that we need a backup for Salih at the number 6 position or a player who's even better than him. However, this didn't happen during the Summer transfer window. He said they'll make up for it in the Winter. That's encouraging. They're aware of the problem and are trying to find a solution.

He also mentioned the mistakes made against Beşiktaş. We should talk about this more often because there have been serious injustices this season. These things shouldn't happen in upcoming matches, we want to see a fair competition.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I heard the news that Dušan Vlahović won't miss any matches for Beşiktaş it seemed like a more serious injury was being discussed initially, but regardless, this is important news for the club. The fact that he won't miss a single game is excellent news. Beşiktaş needs Vlahović's experience and his contributions in every match he really energizes the team. He will be playing in the Kocaelispor match, followed by the game against Trabzonspor the next week.

I’m curious about that match I wonder how Trabzonspor, a team that managed to beat Galatasaray 4-0, will fare against Beşiktaş.

I have never considered Arne Slot worthy of the Liverpool bench. He replaced Jurgen Klopp, who made Liverpool history, and simply managed it for the following year, after which he proved he wasn't up to it.
I dont understand why certain managers have to come in and ruin things, such as letting a formidable player like Mo Salah leave, only to be sacked and the team lose an incredible player.

We are of the same opinion. I also consider Arne Slot actually a real incompetent. He managed to win a Premier League simply because the year after taking over from Jurgen Klopp he found himself with a team already completely ready to which he didn't have to make any changes. The following year however, when he decided to get his hands on it, he completely ruined Liverpool by also causing multiple players to leave.

[changaa]

After that disgraceful performance at the World Cup, I'm actually surprised Montella is still in his job. It's clear our squad isn't on par with the world's best teams, but it was as if we went into those matches completely unprepared. I'm sure the Turkish national team broke many records at the World Cup for matches that didn't result in any goals.

I think Montella was more unlucky than anything else, because Montella still gave an excellent game to Turkey and it was seen in all the matches he played before the World Cup. Indeed, during the world competition there was a clear decline on the part of the team that I couldn't explain. But I myself would have given him a second chance.

[Cossyblack]

If his doctors says he is unfit to play in international games, that means he is unfit and he won't go against his doctor advised. Galatsaray will not stop him not to play for his country if he is fit simply because they are afraid he could sustain injury in the tournament,osimhen is a big player and can decide for himself. But currently,he is injured and he isn't fit to play in any competitions. I think you shouldn't jump into conclusion because his injury might be serious than you think,i think if his injury weren't serious,his doctors wouldn't have announced that he is unfit to play for the super eagles. I hope he recovers quickly because his absence has reflected in Galatsaray performance.

[yenerbatmaz]

Forced a good player out alongside the help of Jamie Carragher.

Mo Salah might not be the same way he came in, I mean when it comes to being explosive and creating chances, but he was pretty good at ome thing, putting the ball inside the net. If he was played close to goal or in a system whereby he benefits scoring goals, he'd had done well with his numbers. But Arne Slot choose to force him out at the same time ended up losing his job. Mind you, the sqaud he benefited from Jurgen Klopp won him the league. Although, he had some inputs of his own style.

I don't think Salah leaving the team has anything to do with Arne Slot. In the Premier League, once players reach a certain age, some clubs—Liverpool and Arsenal being the two prime examples—stop fielding them. Arsenal, for instance, didn't keep Trossard, even though he made a significant contribution to their title challenge last year.
Given his age, Salah could perform well in the Turkish League, but he can't cut it in the Premier League. This isn't about Slot; it is entirely a matter of club policy.

[banana33]

Turkey in the last world cup created a lot of chances and had too many shots but couldnt score and i think that was the only problem in the last world cup. I think he kept his job because he qualified for the world cup and created a lot of chances. Maybe they didnt score but i still think there were a lot of positive things,but lets see in the upcoming games how they will play.

This is why I can't see Montella as an incapable coach or someone who hasn't been able to field an effective team. Because Turkey didn't play badly during the World Cup, but they weren't able to materialize and left the competition too early. I think it was very bad luck and that the Turkish club knows the value that Montella gave to the team.

I never like to talk about referees, but this season there has been a record number of mistakes made against Beşiktaş in just 6 weeks. Between penalties that were not given, disallowed goals, cards that weren't shown, the number of critical mistakes made against Beşiktaş has been more than double that of their closest rivals.
There have been 2 losses in the league, one against Alanyaspor and the other against Amed SK. Beşiktaş could've won both of those matches. Starting the season 6 for 6 would've scared everyone. That's why I find these obstacles to be normal. We're used to this league being played this way.

Obviously refereeing errors are something that creates frustration for all fans, because when you see your team achieve excellent results and play excellent performances, it is normal that if the match is then diverted due to errors made by referees, this thing makes you go crazy. And it is a situation that FIFA certainly needs to correct.

And it is a situation that FIFA certainly needs to correct.

This is a big topic that needs to be looked into in the world of football. There are several obvious mistakes that referees make that sometimes look like they were being compromised. That's the point where FIFA should step in. My take would be that when the mistake was too detrimental that the affected team went ahead to lose such game, at the end of review, if that error was something that would have clearly led the affected team to win the game instead, then the points should be shared among the teams and the officials sanctioned. I'm saying this because I have seen several referees sanctions ranging from match ban to fines to other levels of sanctions but I there don't se m to be enough inclusion of the affected teams.

An error that led to losing 2 games could be enough to stop a team from winning the league at the end, so it shouldn't end at sanctions, points should be alloted to the affected teams. Besiktas has been impressive this season that they deserve the best officiation. Even though I haven't watched some of their games this season, I like the output they bring at the end.

[giorgione]

Even with Osimhen, Galatasaray is still lacking. Unless there is a player capable of delivering proper passes to him, Galatasaray's style of play won't change. Very poor decisions were made regarding transfer policies. I am somewhat hopeful about the chemistry between Leao and Osimhen. Let's see if Okan Buruk establishes a tactic and a team that presses high and focuses purely on scoring, something might happen, though that would likely only work in the league.

Galatasaray might concede goals, but they would score even more.

I would say that Leao's arrival could have been better considering that right now the fans are booing him seeing his performances and not being very satisfied with him. Osimhen is a true striker and is probably the only real point of reference in Galatasaray's attacking department, but this is a mistake made by the club and the team, the fact of not having a substitute that could somehow make him not so indispensable.

The Turkish national team hasn’t had a good striker in a very long time. Do you know Burak Yılmaz? He was an amazing striker who led Lille to the Ligue 1 title. Since then, the Turkish national team hasn’t been able to find a good striker. Today, Galatasaray has Osimhen, Fenerbahçe has Vedat and Lukaku, Beşiktaş has Vlahovic, and Trabzonspor has Salah. Montella made some mistakes, but he managed to lead the Turkish national team to the World Cup despite facing enormous challenges. Those who criticize him fail to see this reality. Anyone who looks at the situation objectively can actually see that Montella did a good job...
